羊刃

Yang Blade

羊刃 · Yángrèn

The branch where a yang Day Master's element reaches its peak, such as Mao for Jia and Zi for Ren. When it holds the month, the chart starts with very full strength.

In more detail

The name is a traditional technical label and does not describe harm. Tradition pairs it with a counterweight, usually an Officer or Seven Killings, that gives the strength discipline. Our method notes it only for yang Day Masters whose leading month stem is a peer.

Also called: Blade · Goat Blade
